For those headed to Death Valley, the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes are a
fun location to go sand sledding. The Mesquite Flat Dunes are just
northeast of Stovepipe Wells Village on Highway 190 in Death Valley
National Park, California. To get there, drive about two miles east
of the Stovepipe Wells ranger station, and a parking lot and a pit
toilet is on the north side of the road. You'll see the dunes to the
north and usually there'll be people walking out to the dunes.
After you've parked, it will take about a five minute walk to get to
dunes, and up to half an hour to climb to the top of the highest sand
peaks. The tallest and steepest slopes are suggested: although you can
get going quite fast, this is slower than snow sledding.
A map to the location can be found here, and more
information about the park is here.
More photos and a map after the jump.
